ERROR #16 is a two-day exhibition and ERROR ONE party in light of Monument Vergara : the installation : 'La vie d'une oeuvre d'art' by Angel Vergara in the expo Nieuwe Monumenten in the Middelheimmuseum in Antwerp. For the ERROR ONE project, young artists are showing videoworks, paintings, installations and performances inside the stately Middelheim castle. The party itself will take place at the very centre of Monument Vergara, a circus tent / summer bar;

the epitome of a lively and momentary site of encounter. Angel Vergara has put the circus tent / bar aside the castle.

ERROR #16 puts entertainment next to experimentation and seriousness. Or is it the other way around?

The exhibition is open on Saturday September 11^th from 10h until 19h, running simultaneously with the expo Nieuwe Monumenten in the Middelheimmuseum.

Really Existing Social Media

Although popular platforms facilitate unprecedented levels of
sharing, the social relation is arguably produced in restrictive form,
and personal and collective exchanges are further commodified.
But instead of refusal we should recognise that this is another site
of struggle unfolding under particular conditions and with a particular history.

LIFE STREAMING

Sven G -- Mon 16 Aug 2010 -- 0 reactions

All over the world there are people wanting to contact us - because they are curious about us, want to sell us something or need our help. How do we distinguish between general interest and the hidden agenda? In the experiential performance Life Streaming, the spectators are directly connected to the other side of the world.

Watch a video from director Dries Verhoeven introducing the project to a London audience.

In her review of Life Streaming for The Independent, Holly Williams writes: "When is theatre not theatre? When you sit at a computer, when the �performance� is mostly a typed conversation, when the �actor� is on the other side of the world? Director Dries Verhoeven's work is termed �experiential theatre� in his native Netherlands, and is often closer to art installation or an interactive experiment than traditional stagecraft."

Last weekend I had the pleasure of 'experiencing' this piece on a festival in 's Hertogenbosch - simply unforgettable.

I. TELECOMMUNICATIONS, DIALOGISM, AND INTERNET ART

1. The Aesthetics of Telecommunications (1992) - excerpt :

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, but particularly since the
early 1980s, increasing numbers of artists around the world have
worked in collaborative mode with telecommunications. In their
"works", which we shall refer to as "events", images and graphics are
not created as the ultimate goal or the final product, as is common in
the fine arts. Employing computers, video, modems, and other devices,
these artists use visuals as part of a much larger, interactive, bi-directional
communication context. Images and graphics are created not simply to
be transmitted by an artist from one point to another but to spark a
multidirectional visual dialogue with other artists and participants in
remote locations. This visual dialogue assumes that images will be
changed and transformed throughout the process as much as speech
gets interrupted, complemented, altered, and reconfigured in a spontaneous
face-to-face conversation. Once an event is over, images and graphics stand not as the
"result" but as documentation of the process of visual dialogue promoted by the participants.
